About Victoria
Victoria Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of experience practicing in Kansas. She works with people facing addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting stresses, grief, and life transitions. Sessions address intimacy concerns, communication problems, anger, self-esteem, and career or coaching questions.
She combines several approaches to match each person's needs. Victoria lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy among her approaches, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered work. In practice she adapts methods to the situation rather than using a single fixed model.
Victoria has a long history of working in different settings, including residential care for juveniles, military family contexts, mental health and addiction facilities, and church-based counseling. She has experience with blended family issues, adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment issues, domestic violence, and substance use concerns. Her background also includes work around cancer caregiving stress and disaster-related coping.
She describes a straightforward style that focuses on identifying what is happening and helping people move toward concrete goals. Sessions often involve talking through relationship patterns, naming difficult emotions, and building practical skills from evidence-based approaches. Victoria emphasizes honesty, respect, and a direct focus on the goals clients bring.
For parents or partners who want help with relationship patterns, trauma recovery, or addiction-related concerns, she offers practical, goal-focused work using EFT and related therapies.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Victoria lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as a core approach; EFT focuses on the emotional patterns that keep people stuck in hurt cycles and helps name and reshape those interactions in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and committed actions, helping people live more consistently with what matters even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding shapes current relationships and helps people recognize and change long-standing attachment patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single model. That collaborative process helps clarify whether EFT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix of methods will be most useful.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and accommodating appointments outside normal office hours. They can also let people work from a quieter place, reduce time away from school or work, and make it simpler to continue care across life changes. Licensed professionals will discuss pacing and practical arrangements when scheduling the first session.
